If an advanced
extraterrestrial were to stop by planet Earth, make some detailed evaluations
of human behaviour, science and technology, he or she might arrive at a paradox;
that on the one hand, humans were remarkably ingenious, but on the other, extraordinarily
stupid. In addition, they were apparently making great progress, and yet no real
progress, simultaneously.

By progress
we mean that which relates to evolution, advancing knowledge, science and technologies,
and all activities which are open to new changes. Having defined it as such we
can now show that 'progress' has two very different paths but with far-reaching
implications. It can be divided into two categories: 1) consolidation, 2) expansion.

The
aberration of a society will violate the optimum relationship between these two
factors. The resulting imbalance is usually stagnation, closed systems, plateaus,
habit patterns, dogmas, 3D logic and deductive thinking only, finalising in egotistical
states of mind. Thus ideal conditions will have a fine balance between change,
and no change. The underlying physics of all this is directly related to chaos
theory, fractals, stability/instability, order/disorder and open and closed systems
(see other articles on these subjects).

At
the most fundamental level we know that all is energy (frequencies/oscillations/
rotations), and that it is not only in continuous motion but that there is continuous
change. However, to have a viable existence such as ours there must be stability,
with little or no change for significant periods (we must have objects, or memories,
etc. which persist for a time). Nevertheless energy, even though in continuous
motion, can form stable states (by means of polarities and counteraction). There
is a fine balance between stability and instability, also order and disorder,
but nature has no problem with this. It is man's imbalanced condition which biasses
him towards over-consolidation, closing off systems of knowledge, need for security,
fear of changing conditions, of losing anything, and need for predictability.

All
the above have in common: lack of expansion. Civilisation has been programmed
to block the natural expansion factor of progress or change. Education focusses
on programming and structuralising the mind (consolidating), creating closed systems
of knowledge and suppressing the intuition, imagination, which would enable expansion
to occur. In other words, education does not recognise what expansion means. The
intuitional aspect of consciousness is capable of stepping outside closed systems
of knowledge (and dogmas) and raising them to a higher integration---a higher
stable level and even a higher logic (4D or multidimensional). The universe doesn't
even function on simple linear 3D logic, except at the interface level of the
scientific or ego-observation of the universe.

The
author discovered that the key to higher skills is expansion of learning patterns
(increasing information density and capacity). (See articles on skills, and book.)
Science denies this and teaches that only consolidation (coordination within given
learning patterns) occurs as we are just a brain with a limited number of cells
(fixed computer capacity). Consequently the methods of musical training do not
encourage expansion of information, only stabilisation of the given data in the
closed (learning pattern) system. A musician is focussing only on interconnecting
and stabilisation of learning patterns, and not quantum leaps of expansion through
incremental changes during small moments of instability and chaos to produce change.
It would help to understand that the term confusion---which may arise during the
unstable periods of learning---originates from co-fusion; which can in fact lead
to higher orders.

Moreover, science,
education, and television documentaries are brainwashing the population with the
limiting and false notion that consciousness is a byproduct of the brain. Thus
the expansion of consciousness as an evolutionary factor is denied. Such teachings
can only have the end result of the civilisation's demise. If the brain/body theory
were true then of course such knowledge would not lead to the end times since
there would be no blocking of inner energies of man's multidimensional nature
as there is today, which inevitably results in disaster for the human race.

Note
how compulsively we close off systems of knowledge---even Newton's laws or Einstein's
relativity. This is essentially an ego characteristic---mainly left brain, linear,
3D thinking, and emphasis on self. The ego itself endeavours to form its own closed
systems by denying higher aspects of this consciousness. This automatically denies
inner space, higher fractals, such as the soul, and a single, or God source (there
is a symbiosis between science and consciousness---see article on this). The ego
will seek security and readily fall for the illusion that scientifically proven
laws are immutable and the attitude 'we have the answers'. Both Newton's laws
and relativity have become dogmas. If you question either, you will be attacked.
They are both part of larger integrations which, from the greater perspective,
will produce different results, for example, that you can have acceleration without
force (violation of Newton's second law) and that you can exceed light speed,
which is not constant).

Thus we can have
ingenuity and stupidity simultaneously---that is, advancement and lack of advancement.
If we state that our science is only in its infancy the reason why many, almost
justifiably, will protest this, is that they are focussing on the ingenuity, for
example, the amazing workability achieved of the car combustion engine, and doing
almost the impossible, getting a rocket ship to the Moon. In other words, only
looking within the closed system and the consolidation of knowledge, rather than
recognising we could have progressed to far superior systems. Of course we can
also know that the 'stupidity' factor is a complex function, consisting not only
of ignorance, but also control of information, and allowing this suppression to
occur. Let's give a simple analogy to high-light the simultaneous and contrasting
behaviour of ingenuity and stupidity.

Imagine
a workman standing in a small circle and also within this circle is a hammer and
nails. Now picture another larger circle around the first and in this circle,
outside the bounds of the first one, is say, an electric drill, and so on, further
circles with an electric saw and more and more advanced tools. We say to the workman,
'Build a house'. He looks down at the hammer and nails and picks them up. But
you say, 'Look around---there's more.'

He
considers you're talking nonsense and won't look at anything more than the hammer
and nails. Amazingly he 'builds the house' and does a remarkable job. This illustrates
precisely the human's constructive ability on this planet: setting ludicrous limitations,
then demonstrating high ability within these limitations. The combustion engine
could have long since been replaced by superior systems, and regarding the rocket
ship one does not have to obey Newton's laws, involving massive forces and inertia,
not to mention huge quantities of fuel and outrageous dangers (see articles on
inertia and gravity). We know of course that man has been set up with this limiting
belief system but, nevertheless, he even fails to realise he has been manipulated,
he has become so naive.

The
human race, whose thinking and behaviour is subtly moulded by programming ego-values,
and a need for predictability and security, readily closes off systems of thought
or knowledge and clings to a condition of no change and therefore no real progress---just
the nature of change within the system's limitations. This is so widespread
in our civilisation it is considered normal. An 'implant' of closed-mindedness
pervades our population like a disease.
